In my case I have no problem with no interference would advise you to talk to some other car accessories shop advise him, it is presumed that there should be no link with each other.

Funny to just get this... I have been having trouble with my radio for a year now. It keeps tripping the fuse under my hood. I went to Best Buy to see if they could check to see if it was grounded improperly and the technician said that this particular radio is very sensitive and has had so many issues that best buy no longer carries it. He said it would have been better to buy a cheap pioneer radio than this one.... sorry for bad news but something to look into. I can't return mine but if you are in the warranty window the installer said to get a refund or exchange quickly... your problems with start mounting... Funny to just get this...

Hi, I. Cambell, yes it seems like a defect in your particular radio. You may want to consider an exchange. my fm is fine.

Mine is terrible, too. This may be because my antenna is located outside the car, on the left rear fender.

Yea take it to an audio person or store that sells car audio and I'm sure someone can wire it for you . Our just by new ones and electric tape them up

I had that happen and found the antena had come loose on back of radio. Had to spread out the tabs on the plug to make it hold tighter. Normal vibration caused it.

If you don't have that feature on your radio then just tape off the end so it doesn't short out on anything. Double check your wiring to make sure you didn't hook something else up to it, it seems odd that your radio head wouldn't have an option for it.

It sounds like you are getting FM noise coming in. This can be from the AC wiring in your house or from the speaker wire and since you replaced your speaker wire I would suggest trying a noise supressing surge protector of some sort. Monster Cable makes some great ones for that they are rated in what they call there clean power stage Monster MP PRO 800 with Clean Power Stage 1, Surge Protection, and 8 Color-Coded Outlets High Performance Pro PowerCenter

By no means am I a professional, but I installed mine myself and had no similar issues. Works and sounds like a dream for me. If you've already double checked your install and wiring with a multimeter, I'd think maybe it had something to do with your head unit possibly????? But again, not a professional...Just a guess. Wish I could be more help. Good luck!!

It's on the opposite side of the engine than the power/sound switch. There is an "on/off" sticker (at least there was on mine - perhaps they revised the set if you cannot find one?).

Find a station that absolutely does not come in and use that one. I've used it in vehicles that have awesome reception and it can be a pain some times because you might have to change stations on both the unit and the stereo to continue to listen. Usually the higher and lower channels are not used (I.E. 88.1 or 107.1)

The output is VAC. Your radio is probably DC. Not sure that's going to work.

Test the speaker wired to a different source of music to see if its the speaker or the car having the issue. Also try wiring directly to speaker in case the crossover having the issue

I have the same problem, i have no solution to it i have learned to tune out the noise and raise the volume sorry if that doesn't help.

sounds like it has a problem, there should be no noise coming from unit, contact manufacturer or place of purchase.

There may be a radio station for it or a radio code. Check your owners manual. If that doesn't help, look in the manual for a number to reach the manufacturer & they can tell you.

iam sure you will have to hit radio shack and get a noise suppressor for the antenna
